A photograph of a single bare-backed man seen from behind on an orange stage with carved golden columns and lattice windows. He raises a small hand drum in his left hand and a long wooden staff in his right, one leg lifted mid-dance. He wears a red-orange cloth around his waist and ankle bands, and a reddish cord hangs from his neck. Above the stage are decorative blue and pink floral and teardrop motifs. A black speaker stands at right. The setting appears to be a devotional stage performance.
